Janet Jackson is being sued for $120 million (£66 million) after one of her bodyguards allegedly choked a man.
The man, Leonard Salati, has claimed that two of Jackson's bodyguards grabbed and choked him after he attempted to pass a note to the singer at Club Marquee.
Her lawyers have already tried to have the civil suit dismissed but the case is now going ahead after Jackson lied about the number of bodyguards she had in attendance that night.
According to Sound Generator, the judge said, "Notwithstanding (the) counsel's valiant effort to shield Ms. Jackson (the law grants) no exemptions based on celebrity status."
